INDUCTION COOKING

HOW INDUCTION COOKING WORKS

An induction coil is beneath the ceramic glass cooking surface. This

generates magnetic fields, which act directly on the base of the pots and pans as compared to methods that first heat the ceramic glass. This means that the base of the pan is immediately heated up, saving time and energy. Since the heat required for cooking is generated directly in the base of the

pan, the Cooking Zone itself warms up only slightly. The cooktop becomes hot from the heat from the base of the pan.

NOTE: If there is no pot or pan on the cooking zone, there is no energy transfer (heating up). This prevents the Cooking Zones being switched on and becoming hot accidentally.

IMPORTANT:

Remove all tape and packaging wrap before using the appliance. Destroy the carton and plastic bags after unpacking the appliance. Never allow children to play with packaging materials.

Electromagnetic fields can affect electronic circuits and interfere with portable radios and phones.

Do not put magnetically active objects (e.g., credit cards, computer diskettes, cassettes) on or near the ceramic glass surface while one or more induction cooking zones are in use!

Do not put any metallic objects (e.g., spoons, pan lids) on the Cooking Zones as they can become hot when the Cooking Zones are in use.

SELECTING COOKWARE

The magnetic Cooking Zone sensors located below the cooktop surface require the use of cookware made with magnetic material in order to start the heating process on any of the Cooking Zones. When purchasing pans, look for cookware specifically labeled by the manufacturer for use with induction cooktops.

POTS AND PANS

In principle, all pots and pans with magnetic bases are suitable. These include steel, steel- enamel, as well as cast-iron pots and pans.

High grade steel pans with a mixed metal base (sandwich base, e.g. Tefal ® with an aluminum/copper base) are suitable for induction only if the manufacturer has expressly marked them as such. In that case they have a magnetic material in the base.

If you wish to use a special type of pan (e.g., a pressure cooker, simmering pan, wok), please follow the manufacturer’s instructions and do not use a very thin pan.

NOTE: Some cookware can produce noises when used on induction cooking zones. This is not a fault in the cooktop, and its function will not be impaired in any way as a result.

SUITABILITY TEST:

If you are not sure if a pot or pan is suitable for use with your induction cooktop, you can find out with a few simple tests:
